Nicki Minaj has recently posted a photo on Instragram that seemed to prove that she and hiphop artist Meek Mill are dating, Celeb Dirty Laundry reported.

Minaj, 33, dated Safaree Samuels for 12 years before they broke up last fall, according to Hollywood Life, and since then, the "Anaconda" hitmaker has been linked to several men, including the 27-year-old Mill. Rumors that the two are dating have been circulating since last year, all of which Minaj denied.

Fans can see Mill with his arms around Minaj, kissing her cheek while she smiled at the camera. Minaj did not caption the photo.

The paparazzi have been hounding the alleged couple for months now, pressuring them to reveal the real status of their relationship. It was likely that this might be Minaj's reply to everyone.

The two have been spotted going out together numerous times and have worked on several projects. Mill also collaborated with Minaj for her tracks "Big Daddy" and "Buy A Heart," which appeared on her recent album "The PinkPrint," according to Daily Mail.

They were also spotted watching a Wale show in Philadelphia, according to Perez Hilton, and were also seen holding hands during an event in Los Angeles at the Greystone VIP Club, AllHipHop noted.

A day after she posted the controversial image that sent tongues wagging, Minaj posted another photo on Instagram. This time, Minaj and Mill seemed to be enjoying dinner on a date night. Minaj captioned the photo with, "The money turned my noodles into pasta" complete with a sad face.

The two denied their relationship many times before and Minaj even said she and Mill were just friends during a radio interview with Power 106, according to Daily Mail. She stated, "We're friends. He's dope, shout out to him."

While Minaj did initially deny the rumors, it's possible that her relationship with Mill has developed from friendship to romance over the months and they only recently made it official. On the other hand, it's also possible that Minaj lied, which isn't surprising since some celebrities do prefer to keep their personal lives out of the spotlight.

Whatever the case, fans can only wait until Minaj and Mill confirm the news of the relationship themselves but the photo is already a pretty big clue of where they stand.
